Entire net is full of stories about the great preachings of Swami Vivekananda. Craze makes people to ignore facts and truths. People believe what they want to believe, rather than what is factual and truth. I invite your questions on SWAMI VIVEKANANDA. You will get a reply which is based on some common sense and hardwork.

ybrao-a-donkey‷s perceptions
The above Sanskrit verses from vyAsa mahAbhArata, and gangUli‷s English translation, indicate that none of the great sages of mahAbharata period bore the suffix 'Ananda' in their names. Why? Probably it was not a custom.
When did it start a)in Indian history b)in Hinduism c)in Buddhism?

The ShankaracArya tradition swAmijis of the four monasteries i.e. pUri, SringEri-kanci, dvAraka, and badri, wear these ANANDA, BHARATI, SARASWATI suffixes in their names. How did vivEkAnanda take his name from the ruler of khEtri, after wearing out two/three other Ananda names, apart from paramahamsa? Paradox is, in spite of wearing the name ANANDA (joy), vivEkAnanda‷s 1898-1902 life was full of misery, some his own creation, some the acts of environment (which vivEkAnanda termed karma).

None of the nearly 115000 verses of the Epic mahAbhArata contains a single name of sages/monks ending with Ananda. SatAnanda‷s name was mentioned at one place, but he was a house-holder-sage.

The first four apostles of Adi ShankarAcArya did not have names ending with Ananda/bhArat/saraswati.
The names : padmapAda (also sananda).
surESwara (manDanamiSra).
hastAmalaka (person with gooseberry in his hands.)
tOTakAcArya.

Even the 13th successor of SringEri monastery of South India, vidyAraNya, who helped in establishing the hampi-vijayanagara-Anegondi empire in 14th Century CE did not have this Ananda suffix.

Today, every modern swAmiji wears. Ananda means supreme bliss. Do the modern swAmijis have supreme bliss by virtue of suffixing Ananda to their names, whereas our ancient sages of mahAbharata time did not have that bliss, because they bore names like kukkuTa (cock), Sunaka (dog), varaha (pig), tittiri (name of a bird)? (Readers, will please see, the list above.)

Why modern swAmIjis do not wear names like kukkuTa, Sunaka, varaha, tittiri? Do they consider these names as abominable/aboriginal/despicable/spurnable?
(to continue).

Experience from writing this blog: Swami Vivekananda himself suffered from numerous ailments. His second visit to the U.S. was mainly for medical treatment and for mobilising funds for his personal benefit. During the second visit, he consulted practitioners of magnetic healing, homoeopathy, acupuncture etc. rather than qualified practitioners of modern medicine. Had he cared to study more of modern medicine, he would have probably saved himself.

Advise me please

Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat has unnecessarily brought Swami Vivekananda into Indian Politics. May be, Mr. Modi does not know the true nature of Swamiji as disclosed by his Complete Works. He does not, anyway, have time to go through the Complete Works.

Citizens of India have superman images of Swami Vivekananda in their minds. The images go against FACTS.

I invite my readers to advise me, whether I should write on Indian Politics? I already have a blog: Indianpoliticsyb.blogspot.com. But I write there, rather irregularly. It shows that I do not have much of passion towards politics.

I am an atheist and pro-left. But, I am unable to support CPI, and CPI(M) as both of them lack the essentials of Marxism. They are just tails of the bourgeois parties like Congress and BJP.

I invite my readers to advise me: Should I write about the current Indian Politics and become more contemporaneous?
